Her name is Martin and she is 30. One winter she escaped NYC and went on a short vocation to Jamaica. Few months later she quit her job and moved there for good to open up bed and breakfast hotel. She named her enterprise The Runaway.

She says: “We ran away from the cold and the typical 9-5 to follow our dreams and create this new life.”

Martin had no hotel background, but now she runs her place and cooks for her guests. She is responsible for all the aspects of the work there. She was able to raise 47 000 dollars to rebuild the old property and bring it back to life.

She had a dream of sharing her passion for Jamaica and for good food with others. Now she made it possible to come true. Martin was able to convince people and companies to work as volunteers on her project.

She is excited about her new occupation and inspires others to follow their heart and radically change their lives to pursue the dream.
